The future mass transit hub located near downtown Sacramento known as the “Intermodal” is one step closer to completion.

With a series of whistles and horns supplied by guests and a
nearby train… a crane moved the first piece of railroad track to
its new home 500 feet north of the existing tracks.

It is the next step in the region's intermodal project.
Once the tracks are moved, building can be begin for the new
transit center. Congresswoman Doris Matsui helped secure 35
million dollars in federal funding.

REP. DORIS MATSUI: "Rail is not a thing of the past.
It is also the future."

The two large concrete structures already in place on
the southeast side of the Railyards property are the bridges that
will go over the new tracks. The tracks should be completed
in the spring of 2013.
